Yo man. I am going to be going back to school here shortly at BG. We(the bgsu waterski team) practice in the maumee. You will have to come down there with us and we can pull you around that nice piece of water. How is your boat? I just bought a 85 S&S and i love it. Let me know

Hey, Im often looking for a 3rd on the Maumee
2001 Prostar 190 - Sammy Duvall - It's new to me this year :)

I ski the river about 4 days a week - The boats always in.
Id like to check out that stars and stipes - I logged about 200 hours driving an '84 SS a few summers back. Are you on the river by the small launch? - Blue?

Let me know, I work weekdays 8-5 so its usually evenings / weekends

Yeah man glass city is who we (Bowling Green State University Watersiki team) practice with and they also give us pulls. They are a bunch of nice guys and it is cheap to join the club and use the jump and course.

Sounds good!!

I'm not the Blue one by the dock but I know what your talking about, actually I'm the black and gray one (I don't keep her in the water, I alway tows her). Too bad I didn't check this earlier, I just got back in....it was a great evening on the water.

Temperance MI here. I used to ski the Maumee between GR and Napolean. Picking up a 93 MC on Saturday. Hopefully my wife can learn to pull me quick. Would be happy to ski with you anytime.

Congrats on the new boat!! I grew up skiing in Napoleon, my family has a dock on Coon Hollow Dr up there, I think probably the best skiing water in the area. I would certainly go out with you anytime.

I was on the Maumee a couple weeks ago and seen your course and ski jump ramp(nice). If I lived a little closer I'd be joining in a heart beat.

I was wondering if I could get a Maumee river report around Grand rapids, I'm thinking of heading that way over the weekend. Just wondering about how much rain you guys got and if the river is up much.
We received over 4" from Katrina, I don't think you guys were hit as hard...but water runs down hill right.
